Study Defender — Own Your Essay

Most "AI essay" tools write the whole thing for you — which is exactly what gets flagged,
and exactly what you can't defend if a marker asks "walk me through your argument." This
one is built the other way round: to help you produce work that is genuinely yours and
defensible, and to tell you honestly where it isn't yet.

It's a supervised, 7-phase harness — not a one-shot generator. You stay in control at
every gate, and everything lives in one editable page you work in start to finish.

🧭 How it works — the loop

1. Frame — Pins down the deliverable, the marking rubric, the hard rules (word limit,
   citation style, deadline) and your own starting stance before any writing.
2. Research — Reads only the materials you provide (your closed, auditable corpus) plus
   grounded web research, logging every source with why it was used.
3. Scaffold — Builds a readable draft scaffold with the claim → evidence → citation
   mapping exposed, plus a reference list where every entry traces back to a real source.
4. Independent review — A separate reviewer agent cross-checks the scaffold against
   the rubric and your sources — a generator doesn't grade its own homework.
5. You write — It pre-fills editable fields; you revise them in your own words. Pick
   your involvement: build-it-all, revise-a-draft (default), or coach-me
   (Socratic prompts per section so you actually learn it).
6. Integrity check — Before you submit (details below).

📥 Give it your materials — paste or link

• Paste your brief, notes, readings, draft, or rubric directly, or
• Paste a Google Doc / Drive link — a single file or a whole shared folder (it reads
  each file in the folder for you). Great when your lecture notes are dozens of pages of PDF.
• Bring a past essay of your own as an optional voice reference — the writing is then
  coached toward your authentic style (used for voice only; its content is never reused
  or cited).

🛡️ The honest integrity check (the part that actually protects you)

Run before you submit, by an independent reviewer, on your current text:

1. Compliance — word count against the limit, citation tally, reference-list consistency.
2. Verifiability — the most valuable check. It confirms every citation resolves to a
   real source, and flags invented, future-dated, or untraceable references — the kind of
   fabricated citation that's an integrity problem even at 0% similarity.
3. Turnitin reading — only if you supply a real report. It explains the score, which
   passages to address and why, the false-positive caveats, and coaches you to rewrite
   flagged passages in your own voice (naming the specific writing tell to fix).

🧾 A transparent authorship trail

A built-in Process view records the mode you used, a phase-by-phase timeline, and a
sources ledger (link · why · how). If your authorship is ever questioned, you can walk
through exactly how the work was made — the strongest defence there is.

🚫 What it deliberately will NOT do

• No detector-evasion / no "humanizer." It won't launder AI text to trick a checker —
  humanizer output often still gets flagged, and "I ran it through a humanizer" is itself
  damning.
• No fake score. It does not invent an "AI %" or originality number — it can't reproduce
  Turnitin, so a number would mislead. It interprets a real report you provide.
• No guarantee to "pass." No polish guarantees a detector result. The durable fix is
  genuine authorship — which is the whole point of the tool.

✍️ The natural-writing standard

The scaffold and the one-pass clean-up follow a concrete checklist of machine-writing tells
(grounded in Wikipedia's "Signs of AI writing," maintained by WikiProject AI Cleanup) — so
the material you start from reads like clear human prose, and a passage you can rewrite
cleanly is usually one you actually understand.

▶️ How to start

Research and write my <essay / report / assignment>
Check my draft before I submit
Read / interpret my Turnitin report
Cross-check this section against my sources

Or just paste your assignment and your notes (or a Google Drive link) and say what you're
writing.

📋 Requirements

• Give it your materials as pasted text or a Google Doc / Drive share link (set to "anyone
  with the link can view"). Non-Google links and folders that aren't shared publicly won't
  fetch — paste the text instead; the skill always falls back gracefully.
• Web access is used for the research step; if unavailable it says so and flags the gap.
